Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) has stopped accepting international undergraduate students for the last two years. The decision, announced by the university’s vice-chancellor, aims to prioritize the education of Bumiputera students. This shift in focus allows UiTM to concentrate resources and opportunities on its core demographic. The move impacts international student recruitment at the undergraduate level. No timeframe beyond the existing two-year pause has been indicated. UiTM remains committed to its mission of elevating Bumiputera academic and professional standing within Malaysia. This policy has sparked debate about inclusivity and access to higher education.
